New Do!

Jake is a sweat head, he really doesn't like having his hair anything but short, so after his game he was itching to get it cut. Even though, the longer it gets the more I realize he definitely has a bit of my curls. Maybe someday he will embrace them! They both got new looks and love them!

2024

My sister swears by this number, it represents the year Jacob could be drafted to the NHL. It makes me giggle everytime she says it but I guess you never know! Jacob had his first game last weekend of the season against Clayton. He is just amazing to watch on the ice, I may even shed a few tears. In the first two minutes of the first round (they played 3 20 minute round robin periods) he scored 3 goals! In total, he scored 10 goals! It is so fun to watch, especially because he loves it and skates his heart out at every practice and game! Love you Jake!

Jingle Shaker

Jacob came home with a project this week, he needed to make a homemade instrument. After much consideration, he decided to make something with jingle bells, Tis the season, but he also wanted it to have rice or beans inside so it was a shaker too. We looked in our recycle bin, asked some friends and came up with this! He was very happy! We finished it after hockey tonight, hence his messy sweaty hair! I am very proud of him!

Do re mi....

This past weekend was the first practice for The Polar Express. Jacob and Lindsey will be singing in the show on Nov 30th. When deciding to sign Jacob up, I had a feeling Lindsey might love it too, she isn't very shy (lol) and she did great at the first practice! Christmas music is on in our house!

Sunshine with Friends

I am beyond grateful for friends, whether Lee is home or away. It has been so wonderful to trade "babysitting" days with friends. Last week Jen had to work and I had the kids and this week she was off on Monday and took my kiddos. I am very grateful for "free" babysitting, but the bonus, the kids love playing together and keep each other busy! It's a win win!

Report Card Day!

This past week I had two parent teacher conferences. One for Lindsey and one for Jacob. Lindsey teacer said she is doing very well in school and even though she is the youngest one in the class, she is right on track with all the other kids and could easily go to Kindergarten next year! I had my conference with Jacob's teacher today. He had near perfect grades and outstanding marks in all areas. I couldn't be more proud of him! He works so hard and it definitely shows. Way to go Jake!!

Kickin'

She swam like a fish...no she is running and kicking! We decided to sign Lindsey up for Kicks for Kids soccer through the YMCA this month. Tonight was her first practice and she loved it! She ran and kicked and played fun games for 45 mins, and got to do it with 2 good friends! I think she is sleeping well tonight!
